RE: Tomei 16V poncams + Tomei technical trax 1.5 way LSD
Hey there!

Tomei poncams aren't actually THAT good. Moto Miwa from Club4AG and Cusco/Fujitsubo marketing guy he has alot of experience with the poncams and the gains vs money spent isn't worth it.

For a 20V, since you lack of good OEM like options the poncams are a good way to improve your engine response a bit more, but on the 16V that would be a huge mistake.... 16V is a RAW engine it needs basically hardcore cams to br dropped in and a new ECU that can handle timing changes and can be managed. Like a MegaSquirt or a better option.

If you look carefully, most of the 16V are fitted with cams and then 20V ITB's or Carbs..... There isn't much more to be done....

Of course i'm only evaluating the money you would spend vs the HP gained on the Tomei poncams vs some TODA cams and some HKS pulleys.

About the LSD, there is much talk on the web, i've read all the threads i think there are online and pretty much 40% of all the information is incorrect or outdated.

First of all, you have the OEM LSD. The OEM LSD will lock and give you a 25% locking ratio.
Then you have the TRD that should give you like 80%.
Then the Kaaz with 90% (the 2 way and you also have a 1.5way)

Then you have the RS200. The RS200 from Cusco is the best LSD available on the market. Will shift from 1.5way to 2way because it has inside both options on the clutch housings.

I would go for a RS200, for me it's the best track option.

As for me, i'm trying a cheaper but smart option, get the OEM LSD some clutches... and improve it to 60% and try it on the tracks =)
